This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Plecanatide in the treatment of Functional Constipation in Chinese patients for up to 12 weeks. Patients will enter a Screening period which must undergo a 2-week Pre-Treatment assessment, they will complete daily assessments of electronic dairy to demonstrate the eligibility. Eligible subjects will be randomized into Plecanatide 3 mg group or Placebo group at Visit 1 at the ratio of 1:1 and take an oral dose of study treatment continuously for 12 weeks. For 2 weeks after complete dosing patients will continue to complete daily electronic dairy. Patients will then return to the clinical site for efficacy and safety assessment as part of an End of Study visit. The planned duration of participation in this study will be 154 days and up to 164 days with all windows considered.
This study will collect information on pregnant women diagnosed with constipation from their health care insurance claims records. It will include the following groups: - Those who took prucalopride. - Those who took other medicines for constipation. - Those who did not take any prescription medicines for constipation. The main aim of the study is to assess the risk of major birth defects with the mother's use of prucalopride during the first 3 months of pregnancy. The study uses existing health care insurance information; participants are not enrolled, treated, or required to visit the doctor during this study.
Constipation is a common problem in the general population. Defecation disorders caused by abnormal contraction or insufficient relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles during defecation may be one of the most possible causes of constipation. Although constipation is not life-threatening, it may have a significant impact on the quality of life. Aerobic exercise has been shown to improve symptoms of constipation in adults with constipation. However, there is no research investigating the effects of a combined resistance and aerobic training on pelvic floor symptoms and pelvic floor muscle function in this population and only few studies have evaluated the pelvic floor muscle function using objective assessment tools among this population. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of a combined resistance and aerobic exercise training program on constipation symptoms and pelvic floor muscle function in adults with constipation. The investigator will conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise training for adults with constipation. This study hypothesizes that (1) a combined resistance and aerobic exercise training can improve pelvic floor symptoms and function in adults with constipation, and (2) the improvement in combined resistance and aerobic exercise training group will be higher than that in control group.
This is a prospective, single-center, feasibility study to determine the sensations elicited by non-invasive abdominal electrical stimulation and its effects on bowel function in spinal cord injured individuals and in able-bodied persons with chronic constipation. Electrical stimulation will be delivered through commercially available equipment to each subject during a single site visit.
The investigators propose to investigate Microbiota Transfer Therapy (MTT) for treating children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and gastrointestinal problems (primarily constipation and/or diarrhea). MTT involves a combination of 10 days of oral vancomycin (an antibiotic to kill pathogenic bacteria), followed by a bowel cleanse, followed by 12 weeks of Fecal Microbiota (FM).
LIN-MD-66 is a Phase 3 open-label study with 24 weeks (Functional Constipation participants) or 52 weeks (Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation participants) of linaclotide exposure that will enroll pediatric participants (6-17 years of age) with FC or IBS-C who completed study intervention in studies LIN-MD-62, LIN-MD-63, orLIN-MD-64 based on the individual study criteria.
The overall purpose is to assess whether assisted infant toilet training during the first year of life can prevent functional gastrointestinal and urinary tract disorders up to 4 year of age. Healthy Swedish children will be randomized to start assisted infant toilet training at 0-2 months of age or at 10-11 months of age. The toilet training process will be described including mother-to-infant attachment and parental stress.
A group of 6 able-bodied healthy volunteers will receive Neostigmine (NEO) and Glycopyrrolate (GLY) intravenously and via 2 methods of Iontophoresis (ION): one-patch and two-patch administration, with subsequent blood draws over 1 hour in order to measure the pharmacokinetic behavior of the drugs in-vivo.
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of PEG 3350 (polyethylene glycol 3350) for short-term treatment of chronic constipation in adults.
